DO THEY MEAN IT?

In the “International Sabbath-school Lessons” (Lesson for June 22, 1879,) as presented in The Illustrated Christian Weekly, this paragraph occurs:—
“The Judgment day is not far off. The neglecters and blasphemers of God will then sink to their own place, while the faithful ones are gathered into God’s Heaven as his peculiar treasure. On one side God’s eternal wrath, and on the other God’s eternal love, will be manifested; for, as a God of holiness, he must have both.”
By the “Judgment day” we cannot suppose is meant in this instance the day of death, but the day appointed in which God will judge the world by Jesus Christ, as so clearly taught in the Scriptures. Do the publishers of these lessons mean to teach that this day, involving the second coming of Christ, is at hand? If so, they are so far Adventists, and should not oppose our work in this direction.
